When asked if she ever confided in him when it came to discussing being bullied, the father-of-two replied: “We touched briefly on it, but Kate doesn’t talk freely about it.

“You have to really probe her to get her to open up about stuff like that. She thinks everyone’s out to get her and I think that makes her feel bullied. Be it by the press or online trolls – seriously, people say horrible stuff to her all the time. She gets shouted at in the street, sworn at…”

He added: “I had glasses and longish hair and I used to change my hairstyle all the time to try and fit in. I once dyed it blonde and wore it in curtains to look like David Beckham because I thought people might like me more.”

In a video, Kieran explained his own experiences with bullies and said how it is good to talk and so important to not suffer in silence.

Captioning the five-minute long video video, he wrote: “Ok so there was a reason behind the throwback picture of me when I was 16.

“Ok so for those that know me and for those that don’t I was bullied at school between the age of 12 and 16.

“There are people back then that helped me when things got bad and that only happened because eventually I spoke out rather than suffering in silence. For all those starting school who are dreading going back to bullies and those scared of being bullied it’s good to talk and whether it is family friends or teachers please do speak out it could really change things for you.
